The Verl 790 was designed by Ed Dubois, then working for
Miller & Whitworth's design office, and introduced in
1975, by Verlvale Ltd., as a small cruising yacht with a good
performance. The example shown here is one of the more common
outboard powered versions, with four-berth interior. Another
variant had five berths, some yachts also being fitted with
small inboard engines instead of an outboard. The boat illustrated
here was built when the Humber Boat Company took over construction
of this model in 1994. |
